‘Foul’ song blares from awareness vehicle

CALANGUTE: A video of a vehicle hired by the Calangute panchayat to disseminate awareness about the Covid-induced restrictions in the village went viral on social media platforms over the weekend after the vehicle’s operator played a song containing foul language to exhort people to abide by the curbs.
Sarpanch Shawn Martins told TOI the vehicle operator has apologised for the incident. “He said he was sent the song on WhatsApp by an acquaintance and played it without realising its content. But it was stopped within a kilometre after he realised that the song had foul language,” Martins said.
